Margaret Broderick Obituary

Niantic - On Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025, Margaret "Marge" Mae Broderick, 76, of Niantic, passed away peaceably at the William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, surrounded by family and friends. Born Aug. 4, 1948, in Hartford, to the late Eugene Francis and Doreen Louise Broderick (Owens), she was the fifth in the line of nine siblings. She is survived by sisters, Teresa Broderick McTigue (Kevin) of Old Lyme, and Patricia Broderick Carr of Waterford; and brother Eugene Broderick (Sally) of Meriden. She was predeceased by brothers, Walter F. Broderick and Frank Burditt; and sisters, Doreen Broderick and Bonita Dorfman. Marge leaves behind her beloved cats (kids), Buddy and Precious; many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews; and many dear friends

Marge was a loving sister, aunt, friend and caretaker. Marge was a "force of nature" with a "heart of gold" who lived life with a fire that will never be matched! Marge worked for the town of East Lyme for many years, in addition to being a Home Health Aide, restaurant owner, cook, and bartender; as well as many other positions during her fantastic life. Marge loved Niantic and its people. She had a fight to live that shocked the best of the best. Marge has not gone; she will always live in the hearts of those who love her!

There are no calling hours. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, March 15, at the Niantic Sportsmen's Club, 67 Plants Dam Road, East Lyme. Please wear your green to celebrate Marge! Online condolences may be shared with Marge's family at www.neilanfuneralhome.com.

I was sad to see that Marge passed away. I have known her for decades. She was there when I needed to talk to someone after my dad died after taking his life. I was a mess, and Marge saw me and came right up to me with a hug. I also saw here in town and then at the community center and I was always happy to see her. Rest in Peace, Marge, I will never forget you.

Marge was one of a kind, a tough lady with a big heart. She will be missed by many, and I'm sure she was warmly welcomed home by many. Thanks for always being so nice to me Marge.
